This is an exercise in imagination, and a reminder to use yours.

Any similarities to actual people living or dead is entirely a product of the reader's imagination.

---

When the Hammer comes to town, the Good tries to protect her neighbors.

She brings a whistle. They bring guns.

The Trigger films on his phone.

The Good says, "I'm not mad at you."

Three shots. 698 milliseconds.

The Father of Lies calls her a terrorist.

Commander Puppy Killer says she deserved it.

The Architect of Death counts another number toward his quota.

But her words survive. Recorded by the very phone meant to make content of her death.

And you dear reader are the Protagonist.

I think Ross was making a literal snuff film for the purpose of “training “ other agents. He was not some newbie hired in the past few weeks. He was a firearms instructor who knows what the rules are, or should I say were. He knew he would face zero repercussions and would likely be called a hero.

BP agents are NEVER held to account.

See @jennbudd newsletter.

Ross came to that demonstration with the intention of using the most force the situation would allow. That turned out to be murder.

That is in my humble opinion a highly defensible conclusion based on the facts we have available. Occam's razor is on your side.
